# SurgePays gets Nasdaq extension until March 22, 2027 to regain $1.00 bid price compliance

## Summary
- Nasdaq granted SurgePays an additional 180-calendar-day period, until March 22, 2027, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement.
- The bid price deficiency was first noticed on March 23, 2026; the initial compliance period expired on September 21, 2026.
- Nasdaq separately determined SurgePays complies with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), addressing its March 18, 2026 letter.
- SurgePays told Nasdaq it may effect a reverse stock split if necessary to cure the bid price deficiency.
- If compliance is not regained by March 22, 2027, Nasdaq will notify SurgePays of delisting; a hearing request would not stay a trading suspension.
